New American Restaurants near Montchanin, DE

“Celebrated my wife’s 73rd birthday here today. We’ve been meaning to try it for years. Today was that day and they did not disappoint. The entire visit was a pleasant surprise! And it was absolutely wonderful! Sorry we waited so long before trying it. The icing on the cake tho was our server, Aubrie. She was AMAZING! Her efficiency and warmth was overwhelming! If you come to try it out, be sure to ask for her. You won’t be disappointed. 👍👍👍“

“My boyfriend and I had dinner there recently and it was excellent. I had the Mediterranean shrimp appetizer, the calamari, which we shared and my boyfriend had the chicken salad BLT sandwich. We enjoyed our meal so much. They were busy but the service was very good.

Once again my boyfriend and I went to dinner last night. My boyfriend had his usual, the chicken BLT sandwich and I had the crispy peruvian shrimp tacos. We were happy with our meal and outstanding waiter.“

“Tonight was our first night trying Portabello’s. We had an excellent dinner! My wife had the chicken parmigiana and I had the stroganoff. We shared the chocolate decadence cake for dessert. Had an excellent server named Erica. We will be back.“

“The small plates were delicious and beautiful, nice atmosphere and Maria our server was outstanding. It was a very enjoyable dinner and they made my husband's birthday special.“

“I tried the mozzarella as an appetizer and the Tenderloin for the meal. The mozzarella was very good. Between the peppers and topping that was a great was to start out. The Tenderloin was ok. The Gravy had a very good flavor but the meat itself i didn't think was that good. The mashed potatoes were nicely prepared and the asparagus was hot but still had a snap to them, which is just the way I like it. Add a nice bourbon to it all and it makes for a good meal. Cozy atmosphere to the place. Definitely worth checking out.“

“We ate here last night, we had the best food and the best waiter! It was a treat all around!“

“I think this restaurant is the best one in Hockessin!!“

“Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and level of service at this restaurant. Ordered a scallop dish and a pasta dish and were totally blown away! Will definitely go back next time we visit.“

“Administrative details - While you usually must make a reservation a year in advance (which I did), there are a very few earlier spots available on their website. In addition, if you are on the email list, they send the occasional last-minute availability. Talula’s is BYOB. The price was $125 and with all the other things, taxes, gratuities, it came to $160. The Nook Table is available for 6-8 diners and the Farm Table is for larger parties. Website link is below. Everything is presented in “tasting” small portions. In addition to the menu, they provided a couple of additional offerings. I did not do a good job of capturing the delightful descriptions of the food provided by our server. (The next time I go, I will video the descriptions if they allow.) The group did a great job of bringing wine which was beautifully poured in appropriate glassware by our server. The server also paired the wine with the offerings for us! The service was exceptional without being pretentious. After each tasting, plates, utensils and glasses were cleared and refurbished so discreetly that you hardly noticed. The menu changes with the “farm to table” availability. My favorite was a squash tarte. [I was delighted to find that I did not like the foie gras. It is “made” in a most inhumane and horrible way. This is the only time I have eaten it and I will never eat it again.] I was sorry to find that by the Black Garlic Beef Ribeye (#6 on the list), I was getting to the point of “too much food.” The only downsides were “too much food” for most of us and the wines they suggested for the pairings were hard/impossible to find. I personally did not like the varieties of wines they suggested for pairings. The rest of the party enjoyed the comparable wines they were able to find and allowed the server to pair with the tastings. I will be making a reservation for next year very soon. I have already made a reservation for the “sister” Talula’s Garden in Philly for September.“

“Best burgers in Delaware. Service is always exceptional.“

“Dinner was excellent. Ordered lots on the menu and each was outstanding. The skate melted in your mouth. Tasted like chicken. Lamb carpaccio, pork steak, rainbow trout, ravioli, funghetti. Well worth it.“

“Amazing experience at The Pear last night! Matt and Francesca were both wonderful. Delicious food. If you haven’t made it out here yet definitely book a res and go. Soooo good.“

“Wonderful food, highly recommend the grilled shrimp and the jerk egg rolls. Enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese too! Old fashion drink was really good!“

“Our favorite restaurant in Wilmington“

“Excellent food always my favorite place to eat out. The fish tacos are out of this world and a must to try the cauliflower curry soup delicious dad they closed in Middletown but its worth traveling where ever they are because their just that good!“

“we love Cafe Americana. we are there at least 2 or 3 times a week. the food is fresh, portions are big and we can't say enough about the team there. they are like our family. I really feel like we are home when we come in every time.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came in for a relaxed Valentine’s Day lunch and had an awesome experience. The food and drinks were fantastic. The butternut squash soup was rich and comforting, and the lobster bisque was smooth, flavorful, and felt like a little indulgent treat.

That said, as good as the food was, the service somehow still managed to be the best part of the meal. Attentive without being overbearing, warm, and genuinely welcoming... it made the whole experience feel special and unrushed. Exactly what you want when you’re out for a nice date.

Great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back. 💚🍲🥂“

“ymmmmmm food and we like it“

“The staff was so amazing. There ability to recall the menu and make suggestions for me was nice/helpful. We were celebrating my friends birthday and they brought out a nice cake and candle. Loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious, and desserts were out of this world tasty.“

“Delicious Easter brunch! Everything was beautifully prepared and displayed, and the staff was very attentive with drinks and anything we needed. Thank you! 🐰🐾🌷“

“Great rustic farm with a wide variety of beers. Staff are very attentive and orders are served expeditiously. We had an excellent live guitar performer on the Thursday night we visited. It was raining during our visit, but I look forward to returning to enjoy the outdoor garden in between weather conditions.“

“This place is awesome... great bar tenders specially Daniel!!! Me and my friend went on karaoke night, it's every sunday 3:30pm-8pm.. a must visit place, its amazing, crowd is very welcoming and everyone is very friendly.... Genesis is hosting the kareoke, fun fun fun experience... we will definitely be back and this time, with my girls...“

“The manager was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived very late and the kitchen was closed but he offered us a few pizza options and we were more than grateful!! Pizza was delicious and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and really appreciate how customer friendly everyone was.“

“Had a great dinner with friends last night.... menu, as usual, was excellent... but want to especially recognize our server Kara...friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating... made a fun time even more so... Ask for her... you can't go wrong.“

“First time I came here, I was a little nervous, but the regulars are super friendly and the bartender is great!! I went there to read, and while I did get a lot done, it was great talking to the regulars.“

“Went for lunch with my son. We ate on the patio. It was cozy, quaint. Beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable. The food options were great; different from the same old same old. The waitress was busy but brought our drinks and food in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Best food in the mall (including the stand alone restaurants). Amazing quality, every staff member is professional and polite. The crab bisque was enough to make me return again and again… not to mention the fries are 1000/10. I love sitting at the bar and watching the chefs prepare the food.“

“I’ve always loved Columbus Inn throughout the years and highly recommend it for quality fine dining and a quaint enjoyable atmosphere. And the front deck is an amazing spot all year round.“

“The Back Burner has a gem in Patty. The food is always dependable, and the wine list is surprisingly reasonable for some good quality wines. I think all of these things contribute to the restaurant's staying power in Hockessin.“

“One of my favorite stops! I have loved everything I’ve ordered but my favorites are their speciality lattes or the chai tea latte. It has a super chill environment and is a nice break in my day. Highly recommend❤️“

“Fun but challenging track. Beautiful property. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Authentic Pennsylvania Dutch / Amish-style comfort food
Rebecca’s Dutch Kitchen is a hidden gem inside Booth’s Corner Farmers Market. The food is homemade, hearty, and full of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch flavor, just like real country cooking.
Everything tastes fresh and made with simple, quality ingredients. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—exactly what you expect from a traditional market kitchen.
If you’re looking for authentic, comforting, no-frills food that feels like it came straight from a family kitchen, this is the place. A must-stop when visiting Booth’s Corner. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Wow- we can’t say enough about our awesome experience here! Patricia makes an epic cocktail! Robin is the kindest F&B manager we’ve met. Isaiah checked us in and Katie is a general Mayer who holds it all together. Stop here if you can and order a martini!“

“BEST PIZZA IN WEST SIDE OF WILMINGTON, HANDS DOWN!! If your looking a good slice of any type of pizza this should be your go too place!! I ♡ their white veggie pizza. They also cut up cucumbers & onion for me to take home. The food & service is top notch. The gas station side (Liberty Gas) the service is not as friendly at all. I only shop at Liberty bc Quick Meal & their service is so good.“
